My tall CalSci windscreen arrived yesterday afternoon. I hooked it up this AM and took the FJR 'round the block for a test ride. Over 80 miles in couple hours.
All I can say is WOW!! For me, it transformed an uncomfy buffeting ride into one of comfort. I'm sold.
I got the tall version of the shield. I'm 6'2" 215# 35" inseam. At full up, I'm looking thru the windshield. I ran up to 80 mph and it was pretty quiet compared with the stocker. I had a Nolan flip helmet on and rode with the helmet's shield in the up position and the CalSci positioned so I could see over it. Not full up, but maybe couple inches lower. Very comfy.
Install was pretty straight forward. I must say that all the plastic phillip's screws on my FJR were all loose, so was the "W". May want to check those out.
I've ridden with some form of windscreen for over a decade. I wouldn't ride without one. For those that are used to 'no shield', I'm sure you will think the CalSci offers too much coverage. But, I like it. It's like +4 taller and +4 wider.
Quality is pretty good, tho not as nicely finished as the stocker unit. And, perhaps a bit thinner. The vent works great, too. 'Round town and on the road there is plenty of fresh air coming thru. No back pressure at 80 mph either.
I like it. Now, if I can get some of Doug Hine's risers (coming soon) and a new saddle with a backrest.... I'll be extremely happy with the bike. It's a keeper for sure.
